In a 17-second video posted to the Sgfollowsall Instagram account on Wednesday (Jan 29), a dragon dance can be seen taking place on stage at Gim Seng Heng Seafood Restaurant, as diners looked on while having their meals. However, just as the performers attempted a corkscrew-like manoeuvre with the dragon puppet's body, a part of the puppet caught the large whirling fan above their heads. This launched the prop into the air, as poles that the performers were holding onto were ripped from their hands. In an instant, the crowd cried out in shock as both the puppet and rod were seen hurtling towards them. «It's bleeding,» a voice could be heard saying as the video ends abruptly. According to the Instagram post, the performance occurred on Tuesday (Jan 28). «They had a dragon dance performance on a very small stage with the ceiling fan still on,» said a purported diner who shared the incident with Sgfollowsall.

The family had finished their sixth course a little after 10pm on Tuesday (Jan 28) when medical student Alex (not his real name) visited the restroom of the TungLok Signatures restaurant and saw a chef, who looked to be in his 60s, crouched in a corner. «He was gasping, short of breath, holding his throat and turning pale,» the 23-year-old told The Straits Times. The NUS medical student helped to sit the chef up and administer his inhaler, but his condition was not improving. Two of the chef's colleagues had already called for an ambulance by then. «His situation was getting serious,» Alex said. At that point, his father, an orthopaedic surgeon, happened to enter the restroom. Alex said: «There was no other medical equipment, nothing much to do except to stay and monitor him.»
